Toronto, June 7, 2011 -- PROBE MINES LIMITED (TSX-V: PRB) ("Probe" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received further assays from the ongoing drilling program at the Company's Borden Lake Gold Project near Chapleau, Ontario. Results for diamond drill holes BL11-29 to BL11-36 were received and have successfully extended the Borden Lake gold zone mineralization to approximately 1.2 kilometres in strike length. The mineralized zone remains open in both directions along strike and to depth. The Company is very encouraged by these results and the open-pit size potential of the Borden Lake Gold Zone and has contracted a second drill to increase drill capacity on the project in order to prepare for the initiation of an NI 43-101-compliant resource estimate report, which is expected to commence this summer.

Significant widths of gold mineralization were returned from all holes, including: a 127 metre interval averaging 0.8 g/t Au, containing a 21.6 metre section grading 1.4 g/t Au in Hole BL10-30; a 126.7 metre interval grading 0.8 g/t Au, including two sections of 15.4 and 14.7 metres averaging 1.4 g/t and 2.0 g/t Au, respectively in Hole BL11-32; and a 96.7 metre zone grading 0.8 g/t Au including 31.6 metres averaging 1.2 g/t Au in Hole BL11-36. The following table presents the highlights from the drilling. Reported drill widths approximate true widths in these sections:

Gold mineralization is hosted predominantly by an overlooked segment of Timiskaming-age metasediments, and is comprised of broad zones of disseminated sulphides. Timiskaming-age metasediments are associated with all the major gold camps in Ontario, including Timmins, Kirkland Lake and Red Lake.

Hole BL11-29 was drilled approximately 200 metres southeast of the discovery section and intersected gold mineralization down to a vertical depth of 142 metres, while Hole BL11-30 was drilled underneath BL11-29 and successfully identified gold mineralization to 185 metres vertical depth. Holes BL11-31 and 32 were drilled 300 metres southeast of the discovery section and intersected gold mineralization to 188 metres vertical depth. Holes BL11-33 and 34 also intersected gold to a vertical depth of 188 metres 400 metres to the southeast of the discovery section, while Hole BL11-36 identified gold down to 193 metres vertical depth on a section 500 metres southeast of the discovery. Hole BL11-35, drilled on the same section as BL11-36, was collared in a diabase dyke and stopped with no samples being taken.

The second phase program has now drilled over 14,000 metres in 62 holes (BL10-09 to BL11-70) and to date has tested approximately 1.6 kilometres of strike length along the zone, which remains open in all directions. Drilling will continue testing the strike and depth extents of the gold zone until the full limits of the mineralized horizon have been tested. Core samples have been submitted for Holes BL11-37 to BL11-66 and assay results will be released as they are received.

Updated plan and section maps are available on the Company's website at www.probemines.com.

Probe has instituted a strict quality assurance and quality control ("QA-QC") program for the Borden Lake drill core sampling, with each batch of samples including two certified reference materials (standards), one blank sample and one core duplicate sample in predetermined batches comprising 40 samples. Quality control guidelines have been set out by independent Qualified Person ("QP") Ms. Tracy Armstrong, P.Geo., of P & E Mining Consultants Inc.
